Hi,
I wonder if anyone cal help me diagnose an issue with my Partner Tepee manual?
I found a post that sounded related, but its for a semi-auto, so that wasn't the issue.

I suspect this may be a general mechanical issue that could affect any car and is not Partner/Berlingo specific, but just in case, I thought i'd start here in case its a known issue.
I have an intermittent judder and the only way I can think to describe it would be that its like i've tried to set off in the wrong gear and the car has tried to stall; ie: tried to leave a set of traffic lights in 4th, rather than 2nd and the car does that big jolt like its about to stall and you need to get the clutch in quick to catch it.
This jolt will happen when you are in the correct gear though and can happen even when you are on the motorway and maybe go to accelerate; again in the correct gear, i've noticed it when speed has dropped to around 50mph and i've stayed in 5th gear and slowly tried to get back up to 70mph as traffic allows, but it will also happen in 2nd if you slow for a corner, or if accelerating in 3rd where 3rd is the correct gear.
It can be managed by adapting driving style and at times staying in a gear lower than should be nessesary, but it is annoying.
The other thing that may, or may not be true here is that I think it is worse if I have been using the car consistently for say a couple of hours and may get better when its gets rested and cools down for maybe 30mins to an hour.
Other things to note ...
This is a high milege van
The gear selector is pretty sloppy, but the gears do engage and we are correctly in gear when this hiccup happens
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Stephen
